Numb & Getting Colder Lyrics
It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
[Verse 1: KUČKA]
Make your decisions now, weigh it up
Facing a long road down or keeping your head above
Saying the same thing twice won’t make it right
Held up in your desires, but
[Pre-Chorus: KUČKA]
Maybe we're looking for a different way
Does it matter when you act like this?
Yeah, you got into something
Let it take control of you, oh
'Cause you say it but you won’t admit it, oh
Numb and getting colder, physical existence disappears
[Chorus: KUČKA]
Said you begged to leave
I won’t be behind you
And I can’t breathe, breathe
I won’t be behind you
Said you begged to leave
I won’t be behind you
And I can’t breathe, breathe
I won’t be behind you
It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
[Verse 2: KUČKA]
Not gonna tell you stop, ease it up
Hold your emotions back, stop taking it out on her
I'm gonna lose no pride, giving up
We're going on lockdown
[Pre-Chorus: KUČKA]
Maybe we're looking for a different way
Does it matter when you act like this?
Yeah, you got into something
Let it take control of you, oh
'Cause you say it but you won’t admit it, oh
Numb and getting colder, physical existence disappears
[Chorus: KUČKA]
Said you begged to leave
I won’t be behind you
And I can’t breathe, breathe
I won’t be behind you
Said you begged to leave
I won’t be behind you
And I can’t breathe, breathe
I won’t be behind you
It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
[Bridge: KUČKA]
If I feel like losing my mind
We're into deeper
Feelings often we leave behind
I'm too weak from this
Sometimes to get something refined
And trust your instincts
Broken, don’t do one thing, survive
So primitively
[Chorus: KUČKA]
Said you begged to leave
I won’t be behind you
And I can’t breathe, breathe
I won’t be behind you
Said you begged to leave
I won’t be behind you
And I can’t breathe, breathe
I won’t be behind you
About
“Numb & Getting Colder” is an experimental, powerful track about a relationship. It was first premiered without an official name at BBC Radio 1 Session with Annie Mac on March 15, 2016.
In an Instagram post, Flume talked about making the song and how much he liked it:
The concept behind this song was figuring out a way to combine sounds from experimental music and pop, then have it make sense. I pitched & sped up Kučka’s vocals to make her sound like an alien babe from the future. It sounded kind of wrong, but also kind of right. This is the track I’m most proud of on the record. Kučka killed it!
